Postdoctoral positions are considered on a case-by-case basis. Typically, it is prudent to reach out 6-12 months before your anticipated start date to explore project and funding options. In the best cases, postdoctoral fellows will work collaboratively with Dr. Ting to apply for fellowships (such as NIH T32 or ASEE eFellows) before officially joining the lab. This typically means extra work during the period around the PhD defense. Fellowship projects should augment and complement ongoing research in the lab, to maximize both the learning of the fellow and path towards independence.

We are seeking individuals interested in biophysical modeling of muscle spindle sensory signals during movement. This requires a unique individual who can use cross-bridge based models of muscle and muscle spindles in simple biomechanical simulations to predict sensory signals in balance, and clinical tests such as the pendulum test. Doing a deep dive into neurophysiology and linking it to musculoskeletal mechanics and reflex control in neurological disorders such as cerebral palsy and Parkinson’s disease or stroke need to be of interest to the candidate.
